5 years too late [L.S]

Harry

Rehearsals continued regularly, and our first show back was tonight. All of our family's were attending, some of our friends, and I know for sure Maya and Gigi were attending.

Louis and I have become more and more civil, actually leaning towards calling us friends now.  It's nice not being angry all the time. I spent so long being angry with everyone, but most importantly, myself. Sure, I still have my bad days, when I snap at all the boys, but I haven't been drunk for a long time, no drugs at all, and no self harming.

"Hurry up styles, soundcheck starts in 45 minutes" Liam yelled form downstairs

I ran down while putting my hair up in a man bun, knowing the stylist will take care of it later. I was actually excited, I love performing and haven't done it in forever. Performing was probably the one time I wasn't, usually at least, pretending to be happy.

"I'm here, let's go"

The five of us pile into the car management sent for us. We didn't take mine because we knew we were heading out for a celebration drink afterwards. I somehow ended up in the backseat with Louis besides me. I tried to ignore our knees touching. And let's not forget how our shoulders touch at sharper turns. Or when he sends me apologetic smiles when accidentally bumping in to me at the turns. The whole car ride was kind of a big blur of me trying to not get carried away of the feeling of having Louis besides me again. Just like old times.

The car went intro the underground parking lot of the stadium, avoiding all the fans waiting outside. I saw multiple tents, sleeping fans, and fans with baby's. Guess our fans grew up too, but still just as stubborn to see us and get the best seats.

"We are here boys, good luck" the driver said, and we all thanked him before exiting the car and entering the stadium. We put our bags in our dressing rooms, we all have separate, due to our family's and friends watching, otherwise we often take one big, or two semi big rooms and share. Well that was before. Who knows, separate dressing rooms may be our new thing.

I throw my bags in, looking around and seeing everything I asked for waiting for me. Guess being famous has some perks. I'm not greedy tho, it's wather, Diet Coke, and some snacks. Then my family and friends asked for card games and some other stuff to keep them occupied during the meet and greets and so on.

I make my way to soundcheck, I still have my hair in a bun, but I changed from joggers to jeans, knowing that fans sometimes got to listen to soundcheck.

And I was right, well not many fans, but the few with connections, Cal, from lightning crew, got his daughter and her best friend in. Luke, one from the camera team, got his nice in. And so on, some of our friends had already arrived, Maya and Gigi were chatting and listening. I saw my sister speaking to lottie. My mom to Louis dad. Well our family's were great friends before, so it doesn't surprise me. I would have to meet them all after soundcheck.

"I can't wait to get out and sing in front of our fans again" Louis says while jumping off the stage, on the way to greet everyone. I don't know what come over me but I put my hand around his shoulder in a friendly matter

"I'm too, but stop jumping around before you hurt yourself, get tiered, or even worse, trick me into jumping around with you" he lets out a laugh, and I don't take my hand off, it feels right. Liam, Zayn and Niall are in front of us and soon separate to say hi to their families. And suddenly the Tomlinson and styles are in front of us.

I let go of his shoulder to give my mom a big hug, and then my sister.

"So you two are friends again?" My sister asks

I turn to look at Louis who is looking at me, probably answering the same question. I send him a small smile before turning my attention back to Gemma "kind of"

"Oh stop with the bullshit-"

"Language" my mom cuts her off and we both smile at her.

"As I was saying" Gemma continues "I saw the fond look you gave him before greeting us, and just now"

"No fond looks here... after everything he has done..."

"Oh for fuck sake Harry, learn to forgive and forget"

"Language!" Both me and Gemma say. We laugh a bit before changing the subject and actually catching up. I go and greet my other friends that I didn't succeed in cutting off. Which weren't a lot. And lastly I turn to the Tomlinsons. I haven't seen them in forever. Lottie is the first one to pull me into a big hug.

"I missed you Harry"

"I missed you too" Then she slaps me around the head. "Ow! What was that for"

"That was for cutting ME of for my BROTHERS mistakes. We were friends too, you know!"

"Okey sure, I deserved that, sorry..." I mutter before giving her my new number. I say hi to the older pair of twins who both hug me at the same times. Then I go to the younger ones, who I have never met. I look for Louis for approval but he is standing and talking to mother and Gemma. When he looks at me he excuses himself and walks over to where the twins and I are.

"You want too meet them?" He asks

"Yes please" I love kids, and he knows that.

He gestures to them and we walk closer

"Hi guys, this is Harry"

They suddenly jumped up at me and I can't complain. I hug them back and lift them up at the same time.

"We have heard a lot about you"

"Hope only good things"

"Yeah, Louis always talks about you" Does he? Does he really? I look at him a bit confused but he looks down at his shoes, blushing. Well there is my answer.

"Guys get ready for stage" Paul yells and we say a quick goodbye before getting into stage outfits and fixing our appearances, that being a bit of makeup and hair. Soon we are all waiting to be called for to walk out on stage.

The five of us are all in a huddle, saying some encouraging words.

"Lads, let's make this fun, let's enjoy this, and let's give them the reunion they deserve" Liam says.

I put my hand in the middle, and soon they all follow, on three we all say 'one D' and lift our hands.

"Guys, 20 seconds" Paul says over all the cheering. We are now stood on a platform that will appear in the middle of the stage.

"10 seconds" we look at each other one last time , the adrenaline rushing through our bodies.

"5 " at that we here the music start up, the first one being, what makes you beautiful, a little nostalgic.

"4". The fans are screaming louder than ever.

"3" the platform is slowly moving up

"2" this is it

"1" Finally

"You're insecure, don't know what for..."
